We’re excited to announce the release of Tourfic 2.22.3..
This update brings several important improvements for travel booking websites built with Tourfic. From native Bricks Builder support to built-in REST API documentation, improved registration emails, better booking date handling, and several important fixes, this release focuses on giving site owners, developers, and agencies a smoother experience while managing hotels, tours, apartments, and car rentals.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s new in Tourfic 2.22.3.
One of the biggest highlights of this release is the addition of native Bricks Builder support for Tourfic templates.
With Tourfic 2.22.3, Pro users can now use Bricks Builder support for:
This gives more design flexibility to users who prefer building websites with Bricks Builder. You can now create and manage booking-related layouts more easily while using Tourfic’s powerful travel booking features in the background.
Whether you are building a hotel booking website, a tour marketplace, an apartment rental platform, or a car rental site, this update gives you more freedom to design pages based on your brand and user experience needs.
Tourfic 2.22.3 also introduces built-in REST API documentation along with new API endpoints.
This is a helpful addition for developers, agencies, and businesses that want to extend Tourfic or connect it with other platforms.
With REST API support, you can create more advanced workflows, connect external systems, build custom dashboards, or integrate Tourfic data with third-party tools.
The new built-in API documentation makes it easier to understand available endpoints and how to use them properly. Instead of searching through code or asking for technical details, developers can now access API information directly and work faster.
In this release, we have added welcome emails for customer registrations in Tourfic Pro.
When a customer creates an account, they can now receive a welcome email automatically. This helps improve the registration experience and gives your customers a clear confirmation that their account has been created successfully.
A good welcome email can also help you guide new users, share important information, and make the first interaction with your booking website more professional.
Along with welcome emails, Tourfic 2.22.3 also improves the email verification and registration flow handling in Pro.
Registration is an important part of any booking website. If users face confusion during signup, they may leave before completing their booking. This update improves the way customer registration and email verification are handled, making the flow more reliable for both users and site admins.
This release also improves the traveler information flow, especially around:
For travel booking websites, collecting accurate traveler information is often very important. Some bookings may require documents, age-based pricing, or traveler age confirmation.
With this update, Tourfic handles these flows better, helping reduce incorrect data and improving the overall booking process.
Tourfic 2.22.3 improves booking date-range consistency across frontend and backend flows.
This means booking dates are now handled more consistently whether the action happens from the customer-facing side or the admin side.
For booking websites, date accuracy is critical. Even a small mismatch can create confusion for customers, admins, or vendors. This improvement helps make date-based booking behavior more reliable across different parts of the system.
We have optimized the way Google Maps assets are loaded in Tourfic.
Previously, map-related assets could load even when they were not needed. In this update, Google Maps assets now load only when required.
This helps reduce unnecessary asset loading and can improve page performance, especially on pages where maps are not used.
For site owners, this means cleaner asset loading and a better browsing experience for visitors.
Tourfic 2.22.3 includes fixes for hotel room capacity and iCal/custom availability validation issues.
Room capacity and availability are two of the most important parts of a hotel booking system. If capacity or availability does not validate correctly, it can create booking confusion or incorrect availability display.
This update improves those areas to make hotel booking management more accurate and dependable.
For Tourfic Pro users, we have fixed an issue related to iCal import availability syncing from the frontend dashboard.
This is especially useful for vendors or managers who use the frontend dashboard to manage availability. With this fix, imported iCal availability data should sync more reliably.
If your travel website depends on external calendar availability, this fix will help improve booking accuracy and reduce manual checking.
Tourfic Pro now includes fixes for CSV import handling and validation issues.
CSV import is useful when you need to upload or manage a large amount of booking-related data. However, proper validation is important to prevent incorrect or incomplete data from being imported.
With this release, CSV import handling is more stable and better at validating imported data before processing it.
We have also improved the fallback iCal metabox UI behavior in Tourfic Pro.
This improvement helps make the iCal-related admin experience more consistent, especially in cases where fallback behavior is needed. It gives admins a better interface experience while managing calendar availability.
Tourfic 2.22.3 includes important compatibility fixes for PHP 8.x deprecated warnings and string handling issues.
Keeping Tourfic compatible with modern PHP versions is important for performance, security, and long-term website stability. This update helps reduce unwanted PHP warnings and improves how certain strings are handled in the plugin.
If your website runs on PHP 8.x, this update is especially important.
Tourfic 2.22.3 is an important update for both site owners and developers.
You should update to this version if you want:
This release improves design flexibility, developer access, booking accuracy, and overall plugin reliability.
Tourfic 2.22.3 is now available.
We recommend updating to the latest version to enjoy the new features, improvements, fixes, and performance-related updates.
Before updating, please make sure to take a full backup of your website. This is always a good practice before updating any WordPress plugin, especially on live booking websites.
If you are using Tourfic Pro, update both the free and Pro versions to make sure all features work correctly.
